For Vista and later systems, the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit can be used to prevent the published exploit working by forcing ASLR for Internet Explorer. Some of the other mitigations may be effective for XP.http://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2010/12/22/...

If you read the Microsoft advisory, you will find that Internet Explorer 6 is also affected. You cannot use it with Windows 7 and anyone who could use it would be ill advised to use it as it has less inbuilt security than anything later.

There are two easily applied workarounds available to you in the Microsoft advisory. Either install EMET and use it to protect Internet Explorer or run the Fixit in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2488013 .
